Eleos Appoints Dr. Marc Olivier Morant as Strategic Board Advisor

LONDON, UK — Eleos Life, the plug-and-play provider of embedded life, health and income protection insurance making essential financial protection accessible to everyone, has announced the appointment of Dr. Marc Olivier Morant as Strategic Board Advisor. His appointment comes at a pivotal time as Eleos scales across markets and accelerates its mission to close the protection gap for millions of people missing cover.

With over two decades of experience in insurance regulation, risk management, and scaling InsurTech, Marc is a seasoned legal executive bringing world-class expertise to support Eleos Life’s mission of embedding protection products seamlessly into everyday financial journeys. As Chief Legal Officer at Wefox, he supported its rise to become Europe’s most valuable privately held InsurTech while ensuring a solid legal foundation for expansion into multiple geographies. Previously, Marc served as General Counsel International at Swiss Life and Head of Legal Business Services at PwC Switzerland (NewLaw), and has also held senior legal and compliance roles at Axa XL and Novartis, where he built global teams and shaped governance in fast-changing environments across Europe, the US, and Asia.

Marc’s guidance will be invaluable as Eleos scales its operations and enters new markets. With strategic insight into both regulatory requirements and operational best practices, he will help the company navigate complex legal and compliance landscapes — ensuring new insurance products are launched efficiently and responsibly.

His experience with rapid, international expansion enables him to anticipate and address challenges before they arise, supporting Eleos in building strong governance frameworks from day one. He will also provide direct mentorship to the leadership team, sharing best practices for sustainable growth, risk management, and organisational resilience.

In short, Marc’s involvement will help Eleos accelerate growth, maintain the highest standards of compliance, and foster a culture of operational excellence as the company expands across different insurance lines and geographies. With his appointment, Eleos reinforces its commitment to building a fully-trusted, future-ready protection platform — one that meets the highest regulatory standards while making financial resilience accessible for all.

“We are delighted to welcome Dr. Marc Olivier Morant as an advisor to Eleos. At Wefox, he played a pivotal role in overseeing legal and compliance during its hypergrowth phase — guiding the company to a $3B valuation and supporting its expansion across multiple geographies. He also helped steer the organization through more recent complex transformations. Beyond this scale-up experience, Marc has held senior roles at respected institutions including Swiss Life, AXA XL, and PwC. His unique combination of expertise in both high-growth ventures and established global organizations makes his perspective especially valuable as Eleos pursues its own growth across insurance lines and markets,” said Kiruba Shankar Eswaran, CEO of Eleos Life.

“Eleos is tackling one of the most important challenges in financial services — making protection simple, relevant, and accessible,” said Dr. Marc Olivier Morant. “I look forward to supporting the team as they grow across markets and build a truly global platform.”
